Progress on draw string tote bag - before felting

Progress on draw string tote bag - before felting, originally uploaded by _Anaya_.

once I'm done beading I'll felt this bag. The top green part will be sewn down inside the bag to create the tube for a draw string. I also reinforced the bottom (more knitting), and squared off the corners. This has been a fun project!

Almost ready for felting - my first felted bag!

The large black stripe was added because I was running out of yarn - I like it, and will try to make a 'matched' pair! I'm more than 1/2 done on the second sock....making socks is very rewarding, and fun!

I'm adding a large black stripe here - Apparently I'm a tight knitter, and so I was running out of yarn! I saved enough stripy yarn to finish the toe with it :-)

Also - I have broken three bamboo needles with this one sock....and so now I'm using metal Addi's - which I LOVE!

Finshed the flap, and I turned the heel!
